just fitted my old cars brakes to my mk4 1.3 as an upgrade from the thin old girl original ones, they come from my now written off 1.6 mk3 si nice thick ventalated discs witht he bigger calipers anyone think this is a bit over the top or is it a senseable thing to do? before fitting them i painted them a lush smooth red with some trust old hammerite they look great behind my standard fiesta 13" steelies, which hopefully in a month or two should be replaced by my black 15" alloys gotta et some tyres first though

YEH THATS OK SHOULD OF GONE FOR THE MONDEO BRAKES THO

[dangerousdave]

wouldnt of fit behind 13inch steelies tho

[jonyb4]

hmm mondeo brakes that sounds interesting. might look into that, whats the minimum wheel size you can have over them??

[dangerousdave]

Putting the brakes of the si was definately a good idea.

You never know when your going to need to stop quickly and now you know that you can safely

[M1K3Y_B]

Oh and Mondeos fit under 15s, but i don't think they will fit under smaller

[jonyb4]

and that sounds dangerous mate becareful braking... what brakes you got in there?

and f**k the had no idea the modeo brakes were so big, are they standard or off a bigger model?

[jonyb4]

[Scott69]

[jonyb4]
